Day 1

Nine years ago today, the foundations of the Orange Revolution were laid. Today, the Ukrainian regime decided that it isn’t going sign the Association Agreement with the EU. So, things are kicking off again. Watch the Klitschko brothers live at Independence Square. Given the lack of proper independent television here any more, this “pirate television” station is the closest you’ll get to live coverage. The revolution will be live-streamed. http://www.ustream.tv/channel/КПІ-live
